Corsi (courses) consist of theoretical lessons during which professors teach medical subjects, and do NOT
feature tirocinio pratico (clinical rotations). At the end of each course, students are tested during exam
sessions. Most exams are oral.
Incoming exchange students can choose any corso listed on the Piano didattico (course catalogue):


regardless of their year on enrolment at the home university;
provided that the corso takes place in the semester in which they are in Bologna - e.g. a student
coming for the first semester only is not allowed to attend a corso which takes place in the
second semester, or a corso annuale (annual course, both semesters).
Please note that timetable clashes may occur when choosing corsi from different years.
1.4.2.Esami (Exams)
Students must sign up for exams through the AlmaEsami website (see pages 8 and 11).
Appelli d’esame (exam dates) are published either on AlmaEsami and on the Medical Degree Programme’s
website (link: http://corsi.unibo.it/medicinaechirurgia/Pagine/Studiare.aspx > Appelli d’esame). Please note
that you will be allowed to sit exams only at the end of classes (e.g. exams for courses of the second
semester or full academic year will be available only after 3 June 2016 for a.y. 2015/16).
The Italian grading system ranges from 0/30 to 30/30; the minimum passing grade is 18/30, and an
outstanding performance may be awarded a lode (30/30L, or 30 cum laude).
The updated ECTS grading scale for A.Y. 2015/2016 will be published on the University’s website after its
official approval – approximately in mid-July of 2015 (link: http://www.unibo.it/it/didattica/iscrizionitrasferimenti-e-laurea/il-sistema-universitario/ects-label/la-scala-ects > Scuola di Medicina e Chirurgia >
Lauree Magistrali a Ciclo Unico for the ECTS grading scale of the Medical Degree Programme).
Please note that:


Corsi (both corsi integrati and their moduli) are assessed with a grade (0-30/30);
Corsi elettivi are assessed with a giudizio di idoneità (pass/fail evaluation);

you to sign up for exams and to let professors record your grade online.
You can write to the School’s Staff Office – International Services to schedule a tutor-assisted appointment
for filling in your piano di studi online; contact details are on p. 13 of this booklet.
The School’s Staff Office – International Services Tutors are always available during office hours to assist

4.2.TRANSCRIPT OF RECORDS
The results of your esami will be certified on your Transcript of Records, which will be emailed to your home
University. Your Transcript of Records will show the code and name of each exam you passed in Italian and
in English, the grade you obtained and its conversion into an ECTS grade, and the corresponding number of
ECTS credits – much like the list of activities you have on your Learning Agreement for Studies. You will also
find a brief description of the Italian grading system.
You are strongly advised to check your AlmaEsami account before leaving Bologna, since your Transcript of

In case you notice that one or more grades are not recorded on AlmaEsami, please refer to the first step of
the checkout procedure on p. 10 of this booklet.
Will my Transcript of Records certify the details of my course attendance?

Should you need detailed proof of your attendance, you can download the Certificato di frequenza
(Certificate of Course Attendance) form and ask Professors to sign it after each lesson. The form is available
on the Podiatry Degree Programme’s website (link: http://corsi.unibo.it/Laurea/Podologia/Pagine/in1516.aspx
